La Villa eyeing $14M water plant upgrade
· KRGV (NBC 5)
La Villa is planning to construct a new water treatment plant, estimated to cost $14 million. The existing facility, which is around 40 years old, requires frequent repairs. City officials have applied for grants to fund the project. On Wednesday, the city commissioners approved a contingency plan in case grant funding is not secured. City Administrator Antonio 'Tony' Barco mentioned that the council has also applied for a loan from the Texas Water Development Board. This loan would allow for necessary repairs to the current plant, ensuring its operation for a few more years while continuing to seek grant funding.
